"Old Hoss aud Me-"

Evans and Hoey, the inimitable, appear
at the Opera House this evening in th'
initial performance Of "a Parlor Match.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch recently said
Me and Old HOss" opened 20 crowd
ed house at the Olympic last night in the
"Parlor Match" one Of the very funniest
plays Of its kind. 1t is rather super
fetal view of the play that would con-
denn it under the broad designation OF
horse play, for it is full Of genuinely good
character work. The part of Old Hoss, in
the hands OF Mr.. HOey, is a repre-
sentauon of the numerous and itin-
Grant American tramp, Just suffi-
GENTLY emphasized to make him a central
figure. He is a never-ending source Of fun,
and when the adience is conyulsed with
laughter tie ridiculously sober face OF Old
Hoss looks out at them with an unmoved
seriousness that adds fuel to the fame. His
make-ups are triumphs and his songs and
inimitable dances are in keeping with the
part. Evans has more ginger than his
partner and his part is more improbable,
but he is very funny and possesses the
greatest pair of comedy legs i'll the business.
They twinkle. They do quite as much
acting as any other members of the COM
pany. At any stage of the performance
Evans can give his intellect rest and his
legs will entertain the audience with half

VIM. Early, co,ored, formerly OF Bed
ford county, Va, who has been living ut
Capertown for two years, on Friday broke
into the jewelry store of VIM. Murray, ut
Clifton Forge, just over the Virginia line,
stealing two gold and three silver watches,
and returned to Cspertown. He there
sold tie watches, and went TO Low Moor,
where ne WAS arrested on Thursday by A.
G. Foster, Marshal, and taken back to
Clifton Forge for trial. At The eSsmina-
ton Early confessed the crime, was hand
cnffed and placed in charge of the Mayor,
while the Marshal stepped out in search Of
some papers. Early took advantage OF
the opportunity, and rushed out in
the darkness, making his escape. He
boarded a freight train and returned to
Low Moor. Securing file, he succeeded
in severlng the handouts and removing one
of them. The Marshal having sent a man
TO Low Moor 10 watch, at once set to work
to recover his prisoner. He was seen at
Low Moor about II o'clock at night, but
escaped. He left on Friday morning on a
freight train, and was put of three times
by the brakeman before the bandcuff WAS
discovered. He was at once arrested by
the trainmen, but again escaped and gave
chase for half mile before he was again
captured. He was finally brought TO Hin
ton and lodged safely behind the bars,
where he remained until the next day,
when the Marshal arrived and took him TO
Clifton Forge.

LOOKING SERIOUS.

The Presence of Ammonia In the Ordained
Food of Man-Its Detection Publicly
Claimed by the Ohio State Food Commits
sioners.
The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, General s. H. Hurst, has made
public Circular No g. the results of the
Commissions investigation of baking pow
der. This commission was formed BY the
Legislature, with instructions to make an
examination of the food supply Of the
State, and to give a report of such exam
ipaiion to the public. The examination OF
the baking powder was made by Prof. II.
A. Weber, State Chemist, aud, relating as
it does TO an article of daily use in the food
OF almost every one, is of particular inter-
est"
The startling fact is brought out by the
report that the Royal baking powder
contains carbonate OF ammonia-a power
full but unclean gas generating substance
originally derived from animal excrement.
1t is but fair to say that the Commission
ers found DR.. Prices Cream Baking Pow
der free from this poisonous drug, and that
it is recommended by Government Chem
lists, the heads of the Great Universities
and Public Food Analysts as the purest,
strongest and most healthful Tor general
family use.
As health is paramount to all other con-
sideration we would advise all housekeep-
ers, for the detection of concealed Am
monis and other deleteriOus drugs as well
as to determine the purity of any Baking
Powder, to make this simple test: Mix in
a tin cup a heaping teaspOonful of the
powder with two teaspoOnfuls OF cold
water, place it over the fire, stirring con
stantly and allow it to boil, then smell.
If adulterated, that unspeakable odor prov
ing the source of Ammonia will be plainly
detected. The presence of Ammonia in
most cases indicates that Alum is used, as
nearly all the Alum Of commerce contains
ammonia. Pure Baking Powder will not

Valuable Deposits of Clay.

Mr.. II. S. Thornburg, who owns large
farm about eight miles east of the city,
and about half mile from the line of the
National Road and the Pittsburg division
OF the B. & o., has recently discovered two
very valuable deposits of clay on his land.
The first is very large deposit of pot.
terry clay, the vein being from twelve to
fifteen feet in thickness. The deposit lies
just at the base of the hill, and is about
three feet from the surface. This clay is
of rich creamy white color, very fine in
texture, and seems to be admirably adapt
ed to the manufacture of fine ware. When
dry it readily pulverizes into an almost
impalpable powder, and when wet is very
tenacious.
The other clay is blue and coarse, being
the very thing for friedrich, paving blocks
and such things. This deposit is from six
to eight feet in thickness, and the amount
of each sort is practically inexhaustible.
The discovery of these clays has already
attracted some attention, and they are
worthy of much more.

The Sale of Land,

There seems to no longer be any doubt
but that the recent large sale of unim-
proved real estate on the South Side,
to which the REGISTER has referred on two
or three occasions. was made 10 the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, although
the officials in this city profess TO know
nothing of the matter. A reporter learned
yesterday on very good authority that the
transfer, when formally made, would be to
the railroad company, and that good deal
more ground was embraced in the trans
action than was heretofore supposed, the
total area being given at something like
two or three city blocks The land, as
has heretofore been pointed ont, lies imme-
diately along the B. & O. track, south Of
Phirty-seyeuth street, and it is presumed
that il will be utilized in the construction
of the often promised large machine shops,
round house, etc, although there is a
vague hint Of the company having some.
thing else in view. However, time will
clear up this little mystery.

rumor goes. 1t is also learned
that Detroit is to have reserve club, and
it will be put into one of the minor
leagues. 1t would be a good idea for
Wheeling to get in the same league. Any
way, we are to have a good ball team next
